Levers Beat Muscle

Deep muscles along our spine, pelvis, and shoulders may be mislabeled—or undersold—as stabilizers. Better names for them might be command-and-control muscles or force multipliers.

• Levers beat muscles.

• Stabilizers tighten, coordinate, and strengthen levers.

Stabilizers, proprioceptors, and the neuromuscular systems that support them require unique approaches to engage them and unique inputs to sustain them. They also suffer most from our modern, 4IR world. Modern, 4IR life deprives them of the signals, variability, and levered loading and unloading they uniquely need. 

Quiet marathon runners, predominantly made up of slow-twitch (Type I) cells and wired for automatic control rather than conscious sensation, they operate largely beneath conscious awareness. 

• We rarely notice them—even as 4IR life deprives and underserve them. 

• Until they begin to fail or worse—age unnecessarily.

Yoga and Pilates do engage these systems, but as part of broader, whole-body practices - and not to the degree needed today. 

Inner | Strength Training addresses them exclusively, providing the level of engagement needed to counter the effects of modern, 4IR life - and does so in the fewest steps and with the least time added to our day.
